your art is so surreal it's kinda like how I feel inside I love it
anyway have you ever listened to malice mizer
Sorry for the tardy answer! Aaaaaahhhh! So it can resonate with someone so well! I'm glad! 'Surreal'... I find I make my art very soft and dynamic, and I like incorporating mute (softer) colours into saturated settings. It also helps I pretty much only use the square tool and the airbrush brush to paint... I hope you can feel my love for things I make fanart of.
About Malice Mizer, I didn't click with their music but I've been much more attentive about their branch of visual style (v-kei) which undeniably had effect on little me. At the same time, maybe I haven't given them the fairest shot. I'll go off-rail to talking more about my art. I used to lurk j-fashion forums a lot when I was a pre-teen so I've known about MM (especially Mana-sama) for a while!
My visits then drove me to stalk a lot of re-selling websites. I would be fantasising about what I would change in the clothing and co-ord. But I barely ever envisioned myself wearing them, it was always weird characters. The reduced second-hand prices made me feel better about doing so. It fed my visual library in a specific way. But i've never been more than a tourist to the subculture.
Here's some drafts of personal stuff. None of these characters are wearing existing clothes, I designed them myself (amateurishly.) I want to start posting OCs in batches to this blog one day. These characters aren't pre-"thought-out" as much as I just like designing things a lot. And it's not just these few dollfaces that are in my folder, far from it!
Of course Malice Mizer have a contained theme, but I think you can still sort of see my attraction to gothic j-fashion elements coalesce in these. I try to make novel, vibrant things, and honestly hats off to these fashion styles for making the traits of a lot of old western fashion considerable in the modern clothing discussion (to a younger me who found it more accessible).

Thanks for the ask! Originally, he is the main character from a short, VERY tasteless at times, South Korean webseries from 2001, called PUFF. Despite my disinterest with the rest of the show's cast, he felt very much like me with his thick eyebrows, small frame but tense appearance, and formal way of dress, and became my chosen method of self-depiction/my (shamelessly stolen) cat fursona for over half a decade now.
His name is Mr. Puff. He is a freelance detective and spy, overqualified and barely ever hired. I don't like drawing him grounded. Not doing so helps make him seem more fluid and twinkle-toed, I think. Because, I am twinkle-toed! :fairy:
